Editing in Eclipse

Noob here... I've made 4 screens in my app so far... splash, a homescreen, quiz screen and a results page. I can edit the quiz.xml no probs in the graphical layout. But where is the layout for my homescreen (menu button screen)? How do I edit this in eclipse? I have some text and one button to start the quiz but the layout is wrong when I view it on the emulator. And none of the background images are showing in any of the screens even though Ive made sure they are in the drawables folder. And lastly... why is it that the package includes every possible java, xml files etc.? Why does it not simply package and allow a download of the work and only the work created in the control panel? Understanding all the code needed to create an app is difficult without there being what seems to be hundreds of files and code that may never be used... eg. I won't be using maps, pdfs or docs so why are they in my download? Am curious to know if when the app is finally ready to publish if all these files are added to it?

you can edit what your home screen is going to look like in your control panel in advanced properties

Buzztouch is designed to allow creation of screens on the fly with minimal coding required. You can delete what you're not going to use, but why bother, out of sight out of mind. For info about the various files read Buzztouch Source Code btv2.0 found at www.myskylla.com Fred

Can't imagine the backend logic required to package only what you need on BT servers, let alone the additional processing power, bandwidth, Cost... And what happens, if at a later date, you want to add additional screens to the app? Better to have every option and delete what you don't need - or just ignore them.
